    <>In our country, the idea of patriarchy has always been very serious, and it is considered very difficult to accept not having a son, who can pass on the family from generation to generation. Inherit the ancestral business and continue the legacy for future generations. Chinese especially value the succession of the Chinese lineage, Confucian teaching: there are three unfilial piety.

    Scolding people and cutting off children and grandchildren is the most vicious language, and killing the whole family is a felony of the ten heinous crimes.

    China is a country with a very strong clan concept, and people say that they want to have a son to inherit the lineage, which is very vivid. In ancient times, only male relatives were eligible to visit the graves of their ancestors, because they had the surname of their ancestors, and once a woman married into another family, she took her husband's surname. You know what your grandfather's last name was, and you know what your great-grandfather's last name was, but do you remember what your maternal grandmother's last name was?

    If you remember, what about the great-grandmother?

    When he was young, he went to sweep the tomb with the elders of the family, and twice a year he would go to the ancestors to incense and weed, and the descendants never forgot after hundreds of years. This is the inheritance of the Chinese, in China's thousands of years of history, we have experienced several foreign invasions, and even been ruled by the Mongols, Houjin, displaced, and displaced, but we have never broken the inheritance, the ancients said that the family country, is the first home, and then the country, many people say that the Chinese have no faith, the belief of the Chinese is their own ancestral clan, and the man is the carrier of this inheritance, without a son this inheritance is broken. China does not have a thousand-year-old dynasty, but it does have a thousand-year-old family.

    There are even more families that have been around for hundreds of years.

    There really is a hell in this world.

    When a person dies and is still remembered by his endless descendants, it must be an indescribable happiness. So, while they were alive, they desperately wanted to have a son, because they wanted to be remembered by their children and grandchildren all the time.

    It's the same with having children and having children. Some people are more feudal and patriarchal, so they want to have sons very much. It is not a matter of who can have the final say to have children, besides, if they all have sons, the ratio of men and women is out of balance, what should I do if I can't marry a daughter-in-law in the future?

    1.Cultural Thought. History has always had a lot of culture passed down for example, for example, Chinese children have received the ideological education of supporting their parents and being filial to their parents since they were young, so most parents know that their children will come back to be filial to themselves in the future.

    2.Welfare mechanisms. Because China's welfare mechanism is not as good as that of foreign countries, when parents are old, they may need to support their children in order to continue to live, like some countries abroad with low birth rates are because the national welfare subsidies are too high, resulting in enough money to support the elderly in their later years and do not need to support their children.

    China is different, China does not have such a high welfare package, so you need children in your later life.

    3.China's educational environment. China's gaokao system is the most cost-effective method of success today.

    After three years of hard work, you can be admitted to a good university and have no worries for a lifetime. Because my parents were a little dissatisfied with the college entrance examination, and some didn't even take the college entrance examination, my current work situation is not very good. And their children have not yet taken the college entrance examination, so the child hopes to be admitted to a good university, once admitted to a good university, the life will definitely rise in latitude, and parents will share the benefits.

    Not all Chinese want to have boys, it's just that some people are bound by some traditional ideas, they prefer sons over girls, so they want to have boys.

    The reason why Chinese must give birth to boys is influenced by the old traditional thinking of "raising children to prevent old age and accumulating grain to prevent hunger." This kind of thinking is no longer applicable in modern society.

    Absence of a social security system.

    The reason why boys are born is because boys have played the role of social security since ancient times, which is the so-called "raising children and preventing old age". The lack of social security and medical insurance in China has led to the fear that Chinese will have no one to support them when they are old, and they will not pay for medical treatment when they are sick, and they will seriously lack a sense of security, and they can only resist various risks by raising their sons.

    If an old man is seriously ill, the son may borrow huge debts to treat the old man, on the one hand, it may be out of family affection, on the other hand, it is also under the requirements and pressure of social morality.
